I'm guessing 5 million.

I'm going to guess it will be much higher than that. Even people with health insurance through employers might wander through to check it out. Curiosity will abound.

it's pretty good even though I don't use it.

I'm glad it exists.

I am happy to pay for it.

From Bloomberg with the unsupported title of "Obamacare Demands Signals Potential Success for Exchanges"
Wow, when I read that I thought, ummm, guess the left wing was right...but then I read the article and guess what, total failure.
"While Connecticut’s site had 28,000 web hits as of 4 p.m. yesterday, only 167 people applied for coverage, said Kathleen Tallarita, a spokeswoman with Access Health CT, the state’s exchange."

Apparently empty "hits" equal success to the Left. Empty as in no substance as in nobody signing up. I could afford doughnuts for all who signed up in Connecticut yesterday.

Status: offline 		Okay, to be fair it was more than a dozen that I predicted. It was about thirteen dozen. I can even afford fresh doughnuts for all who signed up in that whole state. Impressive that I can do that, not Obamacare popularity and the Exchanges pool. Sorry. The opening kickoff of any game can kill you if the other side scores early and the Right scored and the left fumbled.

Teabaggers admit they are all convicted of solicitation. (theres your headline)
This means that all teabaggers/republicans/independents/conservatives are flaming queens and convicted of soliciting.


That about agree with your premises?

Ah, ah...no no...this post is using pronouns and we have all agreed that is a no, no, and it lacks any visual continuity or otherwise with reality.

I fear this post does not have anything to do with the subject of Exchanges Pool and I must report it to the Gendarmes.

Status: offline 		It certainly has a laser like focus on the exchanges, and points out the feeble mindedness and ineptitude of the attempted synecdoche, because it certainly is not one, and the corollary is a irrefutable proof of the derail you have undertaken.

But report away if you feel you must. Free country and all that shit.

Maybe you think every person who logged on had no thinking to do and had all the needed info at their fingertips?

I'll leave it to the not brain dead deadender right wingers to extrapolate the estimated nationwide totals.

That's what I would certainly do. So this doesn't show a lack of enthusiasm (there were all those hits after all) as much as some basic common sense on the 'Liberal' side. Fancy that.

We had, what? 48 million uninsured? That includes kids, so there won't be 48 million attempting to check things out. Most likely, husbands and wives won't check it out separately, either.

I think, wholeheartedly, that the majority of the clicks were from the curious. While there will be plenty of people signing up in the next 3 months, the crush that is crippling the system is neither indicative of the overwhelming love people have for Obamacare as Democrats will shrill, nor is it indicative of a completely shoddy system the Republicans will grouse about.

I, personally, expected the servers to be jammed and the site to be slammed. Why that shocks anyone with half a brain, I don't know.
